Målhammar Manor, Manor house in Västerås Municipality, Sweden.
Målhammar Manor is a countryside estate house in Västerås Municipality featuring white walls and multiple windows with traditional Swedish architectural style. The building contains exhibition spaces and functions as a visitor center where the property's layout and historical uses can be explored.
The manor developed as an administrative center for surrounding lands and served for several centuries as both residence and operational headquarters for estate owners. Its evolution reflects shifts in Swedish agriculture and the changing demands of managing large rural properties.
The manor regularly features exhibitions displaying historical artifacts and documents that reveal how people managed rural estates and organized their daily work. These collections show the practical decisions made by families who lived here and shaped the surrounding agricultural land.
Visits are available from April through September with guided tours, and groups larger than eight people need to book in advance. It helps to check opening hours beforehand and allow enough time to view the exhibitions comfortably.
The property preserves original documents and records on land management practices spanning many generations, offering rare insights into historical farming methods. These papers show in detail how fields were worked, harvests planned, and seasonal tasks organized.
